Vegan Gift Baskets? (For a group)
My whole family is getting together for my aunt and uncle's 25th anniversary. Mostly it's an excuse to get everyone together...maybe take some nice pictures etc.
I won't be able to be there and I was thinking of sending flowers (to help with pretty picture taking) but then I thought with everyone else there maybe a fruit basket? So that everyone can enjoy it. But many of the baskets I've come across contain sausage and/or cheese, or some horrid candy.
Does anyone have a vegan gift basket source?
I tried vegan essentials, healthy-eating.com and vegan unlimited.... but they all seem to have gifts for ONE person not a basket for a crowd. Even a vegan baked good would be cool. But I don't want it to be about the gift being vegan... I want it to be something they will an enjoy... that just happens to be vegan. :)
It depends on your family. My family loves nuts, which tolerate shipping and handling better than fruit. There are a lot of organic nut gift basket places online. It seems they offer the same products, some are less expensive with higher shipping rates and others are more expensive with lower shipping rates, so I couldn't find a really good reference site.
That's a really nice gesture. I'm sure they'll enjoy anything you send and wish you were there instead.
great idea, they love nuts! thanks!! :)
I didn't think of looking up "organic gift baskets" ...I was only looking up, "vegan gift baskets" ::)

My sister gave me a 3-month subscription to Harry&David's veggie of the month club once - it was memorably wonderful!
They also have a fruit of the month club.
Their prices are high, but other than that, it might be a good option.
Not sure where you're sending the gift to...
We love these Fruit Flowers every time they're delivered to our office in the U.S. If they have something like this in Europe, that would make a great gift.

In Europe, there are also fruit and wine baskets on these websites.

These folks don't do baskets as such, but they do make a phenomenal cookie, and if you asked, they might be able to put a bunch in an extra pretty box for you :)
